[03:48] <xubuntu75w> thank you
[04:05] <ferrocene> hey guys
[04:05] <ferrocene> how do i find the versin of xubuntu i'm ruynning?
[04:12] <ferrocene> lsb_release tells me debian version
[04:12] <ferrocene> uname -a tells me kernel
[04:12] <ferrocene> /etc/issue tells me debian version
[04:13] <ferrocene> /etc/debian_version is self explanatory
[04:23] <ferrocene> looks like Settings Manager -> Software & Updates -> Updates has the word 'Trusty'
[04:23] <ferrocene> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xubuntu
[04:24] <ferrocene> CTRL-F "Trusty"
[04:24] <ferrocene> Xubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr
[04:24] <ferrocene> sweet
[04:25] <ferrocene> ^ that should go in the FAQ
[04:34] <ferrocene> nvm i'm an idiot
[04:35] <ferrocene> /etc/issue works
[04:35] <ferrocene> so does lsb_release -a
[04:35] <ferrocene> thx for your time

[09:33] <arcasys> Heelo. I'm new to this channel. I've installed xubuntu 10.04 on a HP-RP7-Retail-System-Model-7800 having a second 7'' display next to the main 17'' touch display.
[09:36] <flocculant> arcasys: 10.04 was out of support years ago
[09:42] <arcasys> Sorry, I meant 14.04! The 7'' display is a DisplayLink USB connected Monnitor. The following two problems arise: 1. Starting xubuntu from the Live CD shows the second monitor fine after it has been configured in the settings menu. After installing xubuntu on the hard disk the second monitor is still recognized and shown for configuration but the sceen remains black.
[09:46] <arcasys> Problem 2: When the second display (no touch) is configured to be e.g. below the main monnitor. The main monitors touch is out of calibration because the touch obviously assumes the total height although the reference should be only the main monitors area. This is BTW the same with xfce4-session version 4.12 (I've tried an upgrade but monitor configuration has unfortunateloy not improved in any way.

[13:15] <viralsdead> Hello! My name is Scott I ran a rm command on root of my hd. Whats the best way to recover ther hd? I unhooked it and changed hds to make sure it did not restart.
[13:16] <knome> viralsdead, which rm command?
[13:16] <knome> viralsdead, tbh, your best bet might be just reinstalling if you did a lot of damage
[13:16] <knome> viralsdead, if /home is still intact, backup stuff that matters to you from there
[13:19] <viralsdead> running 4.xx kernel on xubuntu wily 15.10
[13:20] <viralsdead> knome, running 4.xx kernel on xubuntu wily 15.10
[13:20] <knome> you didn't answer my question; the kernel you are running doesn't matter
[13:21] <viralsdead> Sorry dont 'k'nome how to respond directly to you Knome
[13:21] <viralsdead> you mean the string?
[13:21] <knome> viralsdead, i asked you: "which command did you run"
[13:21] <knome> and you reply to me by telling which kernel you are running...
[13:22] <viralsdead> Sorry Im not the best apple in the tree... I ran rm?
[13:22] <knome> viralsdead, what is your native language?
[13:23] <viralsdead> like to remove a file or directory, and my home is gone so yeah thats my main need back... and I have it as a separtate partition /dev/sda3
[13:23] <viralsdead> I live in Germany but English
[13:26] <knome> ok, so as i said; if you have done a lot of damage, then the best way to recover is reinstalling
[13:45] <xubuntu15w> Hi everyone. I have a question where XFCE or Ubuntu in general handles icons. I started using a new icon folder under /usr/share/Black-Diamond/scalable and the result was strange. Some icons were utterly oversized and others normal. From the subfolder /48 i moved up icons which fixed most issues. However that made other icons miniscule. It seems the system sometimes uses icons from the subfolders and sometimes from the parent. How 
[13:45] <viralsdead> Knome, Yes I have done this, I just put my other hd in and reinstalled xubuntu... but  really want the data back off the old hd... its like my source code and a lot of dev stuff...  was moving around and organizing some of my development workspace and dont have where  was at backed up... its like stepping back several weeks so its alot of writing and coding...
[13:47] <xubuntu15w> ...continued. Now the icons in the Panel0 "sound settings" are perfectly sized 48px but the icons in the whisker start are far to small.
[13:56] <xubuntu15w> I know I can right click on the panel and change which icon to use. But that is not possible in the whisker menu. It means some icons are normally sized whereas others are very small
[13:57] <viralsdead> exit
[13:57] <viralsdead> quit
[14:01] <xubuntu693> jkbhbhbh

[16:37] <xubuntu75w> Hi is there a place that I can find what version of Xubuntu would work with a Pentium 4 please?  Thank you
[17:00] <DoomBoom> xubuntu75w, I'm no expert but wouldn't the latest just work? Just check if yours is 32 bit or 64 bit and pick the right one from the site
[17:29] <dash-25> hi all... need a linux distro and thought I'd give xubuntu a try.  Should I install 14.04 or 15.10?
[18:23] <knome> dash-25, 16.04 (eg. the next LTS) is released soon, so unless it's a very important production machine, i'd probably go with 15.10
[18:35] <GeekDude> Is there an easy way to fix vsync video tearing?
